Today Lauren, me and Amy held a car wash to raise money for our trips to Africa.

It was hot. 100 degrees. And we were outside for six hours. We. are. exhausted. You know it's harder to hold signs up and smile on and on than it is to actually wash a car? It is. It really, really is...

But I have nothing to complain about because we had a goal to make. We decided a total of $300 would make it worth it for us. That's $100 a piece. You know that.

Well, we washed about 16 cars.



And we made $604. That's $201.something a piece.

You know that, too.

God was so good to us! He doubled our portion! How we made that much money from 16 cars, we'll never know!

But a part of it is due to our families and friends. My parents were out there ALL DAY. Lauren said driving over, "We have the best parents. We said we wanted to do this and they didn't even question. They just said, 'okay' and we went for it."

It's true. They worked just as hard as we did and they bought us Subway for lunch. And they brought cold waters. I drank five bottles of water and didn't pee. Isn't that a little crazy?

And our aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, friends, friends-of-friends, co-workers of friends, etc. Stopped by. Some helped, some donated, some did both. THANK YOU!

After the car wash we washed ourselves up at Mimi and Papa's then went to our friend, Caitlin's, lingerie shower. Where we had some rum spiked with strawberries and lime juice.


Is that backwards? I'm just a little tired it seems.....

Don't we clean up well?

And speaking of clean up well, sorta, I'd like to go full disclosure and post yesterday's intended picture. I can't believe I'm going to do this.


Thank you, Jillian Michaels. That is a lot of sweat and frizz.

And that's it, folks.
